INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Spinach
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and slice into strips.
In the same pan, add the cherry tomatoes. Allow them to blister by cooking over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and begin to char around the edges.
Add the spinach to the pan and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until it wilts slightly.
Mix together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt in a small bowl to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, blistered tomatoes, and spinach in a large bowl. Drizzle the creamy pesto sauce over the top and toss gently until everything is well combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
